CME records its first BCH futures block trade

CME Group announced on October 20 that FalconX and GSR executed the first block trade in its new Bitcoin Cash futures. The announcement came from CME Group, which said trading was underway in the Bitcoin Cash and Uniswap futures contracts.

The event concerns a regulated derivatives market rather than a spot transaction in BCH. CME Group said the contracts extend its single-asset cryptocurrency product suite, while FalconX and GSR identified their participation in the first block trade on October 20. The announcement described the contracts as tools for managing cryptocurrency risk and exposure, without assigning a price effect to the transaction.

A 3.03 EH/s hashrate reading frames BCH

Bitcoin Cash network hashrate, the computing power used to process and secure transactions, measured 3.03 exahashes per second on October 25. The same dated reading listed network difficulty at 484.34 gigahashes, according to MillionMiner.

The network figure is separate from the futures development and does not establish a price connection. A counterpoint for market participants is that futures can also allow traders to take short positions. Yahoo Finance reported on October 24 that futures may be used for positions that profit when prices decline.
